Losing weight/loose band



Recommended Posts

So do any of you think your band loosens as you lose weight?

I can't swear to it but I do believe that some posters have said this has happened to them.

No doubt...ever see someones inside??? (an obese person)

Visceral fat is body fat that's stored within the abdominal cavity around a number of important internal organs such as the liver, pancreas and intestines.

If you're loosing weight, hopefully it is this fat that can do the most harm....

So yes, the band can become looser if the fat is disappearing.

Loosing weight and BMI's are fine...but it is the Fat that one must get rid of.

So look at the positive side...if you're loosing weight and your band is getting looser as you do it, it is because you are getting rid of that internal fat that can surely kill you.

Curious subject

I'm not sure a fixed object around a narrow tube can change too much.. I get the surrounding fat can diminish, but I'm not clear the band itself loosens.

I am careful flying because pressure changes affect me for a few hours, .. Not clear that is the same issue.

Would love to read more opinions⭐️

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
